Ghost objects causing wraps from templates after CS3 to CS5 upgrade

Hi
I've just upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and I have some weird things happening in my templates. As part of the basic design I have some grouped objects in the masterpages. These consist of a text box with a smaller image box placed over it (in effect a picture box story). The image has a wrap applied to it, the text box doesn't. Normally, when I bring the masterpage down, I can just releae the group and bring text into the text box and it will wrap round the image. What is happening now is that when the group is released, it seems to see a "ghost" of the grouped items and it wraps round the obejct as a whole (ie the whole group). There is nothing on page apart from the grouped items, yet the text keeps wrapping round an invisible object that appears to have the sam esize and position as the grouped items on the masterpage. What is going on, and how do I stop it?

Sorry. you're missing the point. I DO want the items. The problem is, when I "bring them to the live page" they are seeing an invisible version of the group underneath them, so the text in the text box wraps round the invisible object, if that makes sense. There is nothing on the live page for it to be wrappng round, but the problem centres on where the grouped items sit in the master page (moving the grouped items away from that spot makes them behave normally). Ungrouping the items on the masterpage solves the problem - but I would prefer to keep them grouped.
If you want to replicate, try this:
1) On a masterpage, draw a text box and put some text in it.
2) Draw a smaller image box, give it a wrap, and position it so it is over part of the text box (so that the copy in the text box acts as a caption for the image).
3) Group the items
4) Go to the live page and Apple Shift click to "release the group". The text (for me) now starts wrapping round the ghost of the grouped items (ie it tends to be pushed to overmatter).

  • How to change "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" as a default properties when importing images in Autor

    When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
    I don't want that and couldn't find where can I change it in the Preferences. Anyone has an idea?

    I've sent a feature request for a new version of Author:
    When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
    It would be great if I could be able to change it in the Preferences to "No wrap" and "No Frame" so I don't have to manually adjust every single image of my book - there are lots of them.
    It would be really nice if Author implements "Layer's" concept like almost all graphic programs like Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc.

  • Turn off Object Causes Wrap for in-line tables

    Is there a way to uncheck object causes wrap for inline tables? The option is there but it's grayed out.
    Or perhaps someone could suggest an alternative way to put text beside the table. Floating will not work because I want my tables to move with my text.
    My document is in Word Processing mode.

    I just tried this and it works for me. Put your cursor where you want your text and create another inline table. Make it one column by one row. Type your text in the single cell. Set the border color to white if you don’t want to see the “box.”

  • From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

    From When Adobe CS3, CS4, Cs5, CS5.5 and CS6 will loose activation support like cs and cs2

    Nobody can tell you that. CS2 activation was turned off because of bugs in the software that made it too difficult to maintain. so far no such thing has been the case with the otehr versions. Either way, if and when that time comes surely Adobe will let you know and provide a solution...

  • CS3 to CS5 upgrade

    I need to upgrade my CS3 Design Premium to CS5.  Adobe no longer directly sells this upgrade so I am forced to use resellers.
    Question 1)  I have read posts that there IS a difference between a CS3 to CS5 upgrade versus a CS4 to CS5 upgrade.  But, I have received conflicting opinions from Adobe via customer service.  Is there still a difference between the upgrade packages?
    Question 2)  Many of the resellers do not specify the difference (if there is one).  Is there any way to be assured of which version?  Does it say on the box?   The difference in price makes this a rather important question.
    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Adobe-Creative-Suite-v.5.0-Design-Premium-Upgrade-Version-Mac/15 172780
    Thankful for any advice.

    That deal is for the the CS4 to CS5 upgrade and will not work for you.
    Here's a CS3 to CS5: http://t.co/xtxaKI0
    Note that you may be able to get a free upgrade to CS5.5 if you hurry: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html

  • Object Causes Wrap-Uncheck as default?

    Hello all,
    I am a Pages lover who could use some advice customizing the application. 99% of the time I don't want my objects to cause wrap so I find myself continuously having to open the inspector and uncheck that option.
    Is there a way to change the default status of this option?
    Thanks

    My brute force soluce.
    Open the folder:
    "<startupVolume>:Applications:iWork '08:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank:Blank.template:"
    Double click on index-iso.xml.gz to expand it as index-iso.xml
    or
    Double click on index-trad.xml.gz to expand it as index-trad.xml
    For safe, move the Index-xxx.xml.gz file to the folder "<startupVolume>:Applications:iWork '08:Pages.app:Contents:Resources:Templates:Blank:"
    Open the index-xxx.xml
    search for the string "sf:floating-wrap-enabled="
    When you reach the last one, replace the trailing "true" by "false".
    So you will get:
    <sf:graphic-style sfa:ID="SFDGraphicStyle-34" sf:name="graphic-image-style-default" sf:ident="graphic-image-style-default"><sf:property-map><sf:stroke><sf:stroke sfa:ID="SFRStroke-67" sf:miter-limit="4" sf:width="1" sf:cap="butt" sf:join="miter"><sf:color xsi:type="sfa:calibrated-white-color-type" sfa:w="0" sfa:a="1"/><sf:pattern sfa:ID="SFRStrokePattern-62" sf:phase="0" sf:type="empty"><sf:pattern/></sf:pattern></sf:stroke></sf:stroke><sf:shadow><s f:shadow-ref sfa:IDREF="SFRShadow-0"/></sf:shadow><sf:reflection><sf:null/></sf:reflection>< sf:layoutStyle><sf:null/></sf:layoutStyle><sf:externalTextWrap><sf:external-text -wrap sfa:ID="SFWPExternalTextWrap-16" sf:wrap-style="tight" sf:floating-wrap-enabled="false" sf:direction="both" sf:attachment-wrap-type="unaligned" sf:floating-wrap-type="directional" sf:margin="12" sf:alpha-threshold="0.5"/></sf:externalTextWrap><sf:opacity><sf:number sfa:number="1" sfa:type="f"/>
    Save the xml file.
    The next time you will use this template, inserted graphic objects will default to no-wrap.

  • Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

    I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
    My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
    I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
    Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

    The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
    Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.

  • CS3 to CS5 Upgrade - Compatibility Issues...?

    Our company is thinking of upgrading to Adobe CS5 and will therefore have to upgrade hardware as well (running Power PC based Macs throughout the art and prepress departments). From what I've heard CS5 only works on Intel based Macs?
    They are wanting to do a progressive roll out of new Intel-based iMacs which will obviously come pre loaded with Mac OS 10.6 - we are currently running Mac OS 10.4 on the G5 PPC Macs.
    Straight away I see alarm bells ringing... only 1 Mac will be upgraded in each of the Art, Prepress and Digital Departments. There will still be 5 Macs within the area which will still be PPC based (3 in Art, 1 in Prepress and 1 in Digital).
    My main question is - would you still be able to run old software (CS3, Quark 6, etc.) on a new Intel iMac so that all Macs across the departments will be able to open the same files regardless of hardware being used?
    I know it defeats the purpose of upgrading to new and more powerful software and hardware - but I see no point personally in doing a progressive roll out of hardware and software if it is not going to be done across the entire range of workstations with the same department. Also a lot of outside companies that we deal with have already been upgrading to CS4 and recently CS5. The last time we upgraded hardware was in 2006...
    Any replies would be helpful - personally the only way I can see an upgrade working is to apply it across all three departments. It will hit the hip pocket in one huge go but at least everyone will be singing from the same hymn sheet!
    Regards, Shaun

    The CS3 programs should run fine on those new Macs. Anything older would be a problem.
    That said, if you're going to do this, everyone should be upgraded at the same time because of incompatibilities between versions, especially InDesign.
    As for Quark, you'll need to check with them. I haven't used it in many many years.

  • CS3 to CS5 Upgrade Problem

    I am trying to install CS5 (upgrade from CS3) and I am getting a message stating that my serial number for CS3 is incorrect, this number is the right one from my original box and is the one I installed CS3 to my PC years ago.
    Any advice please?

    I agree that you should check the eligibility for an upgrade, but also remember, if you go to Help>About, the S/N that is displayed is truncated for your security. Make sure that you have the full S/N from your original product.
    Good luck, and if things fail, and you are qualified, contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), as they should be able to help you.

  • I had to buy a new computer and now can't get my CS3 with CS5 upgrade to work on windows 8.1. What can I do to get them to load and work?

    I can load CS3, but it won't let me register it and I can load CS5 upgrade, but when I open CS5 it shows fault and closes. What can I do to get these programs to work on my new computer?

    Registration has always been optional, so there is no point in trying. Those pages on the Adobe site are long gone. CS5 crashing is another matter, but without some crash logs and more detailed system information nobody can realyl know. This could be a mundane permissions issue on some files, could be a crash with the hardware acceleration stuff but just the same could be the activation system failing. Impossible to tell based on your limited information.

  • CS3 to CS5 upgrade - can't install CS3 on new mac first

    I originally purchased CS3 years ago, then upgraded to CS5. Today, I purchased a new Mac OS X 10.10 and it says I need to first install the CS3 and then go through the upgrade again. Problem is that it will not install CS3 because it is not supported on the new operating system. So what to do?

    There is no need to re-install CS3.
    All installers (full and upgrades) contain the full program code. The serial number tells the installer if it's a full version or an upgrade.
    Just install CS5, enter the CS5 upgrade serial number then the CS3 serial number when prompted.

  • Why are some objects not printing from Illustrator after I print to PDF?

    Hi,
    I've printed a large Illustrator CS6 document to PDF (using Adobe PDF setting in print dialog box), and it looks just fine when I view the PDF. The problem is that some lines do not print when I try to print the PDF on paper. I've tried adjusting settings and printing to the PDF in different ways, but can't figure it out. Everything looks great on the screen, but some lines are missing once printed to paper. Others have tried printing the PDF as well and are also getting missing lines.
    Any suggestions?! Thanks!

    I've tried selecting print all layers, and I'm also tiling the pages to a custom page size. I've left all the other settings at default. Everything looks perfect on screen, but parts of the same object do not print. I tried to attach a screen shot but am getting an error. Basically each page has a border around it, and one side of the border is not printing on certain pages.

  • HT204570 Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable. I the error message from iPhotos after the so called upgrade to Photos which left me with a blank screen

    Photos upgrade a disaster. No images appear in Photos. Able to re-establish all images in iPhoto only to have the app crash after uploading new photos from iPhone. Impossible to reload photo library as it needs 161 GB of space. The non functioning Photos library is 107 GB and the original iPhotos library from which it was created is 118 GB. I only have 146 GB available on this 1 TB drive but I am reluctant to trash Photos library in case iPhotos is truly damaged.

    And your question is?

  • Satellite A100: USB power error coming from standby after BIOS 5.20 upgrade

    Hi
    I am having USB power problems since upgrading my BIOS to 5.2 a few days ago on receipt of an e-mail from Toshiba advising the upgrade
    I have a A100-200 PSAA8E running Windows XP Media Edition since upgrading the BIOS to 5.20 I get power fault messages but only when the PC comes out of standby
    The error message tells me that " A USB device has exceeded the power limits of its hub port"
    I have nothing connected to any of the USB ports
    I have spoken to the tech guys at length at Toshiba but they cant seem to explain or fix the problem---one even thought it might be a motherboard problem but I've discounted that as the timing is too coincidental to be anything other than the BIOS upgrade.
    If anyone knows of a fix then I would be grateful--is it possible to locate a previous BIOS and roll backwards from 5.20
    I am assuming that if its the BIOS then when they issue another one it will correct itself?
    Comments appreciated

    I have an Equium 100-147 and am also getting 'A USB device has
    > exceeded the power limits of its hub port" message
    . It doesn't seem to affect anything. It seems to be just a nuisance value. I have nothing connected to the usb ports when it flashes up and also the message only appears now and then. I also updated the bios. Oh well!

  • Cs3 to cs5 upgrade query

    Hello
    I have CS3 (InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator) and am looking to upgrade to CS5 Design Premium. Is this possible even though I don't currently have Fireworks, Flash or Dreamweaver?
    Thanks!

    Are those individual products or a suite? If it's a suite it must be CS3 Design Standard. If that's the case then yes, you can upgrade to CS5 Design Premium: http://amzn.to/gHKhsb If you go that route, you might want to read this, too: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html
    Since the upgrade to CS5.5 is $200 more you should jump on this deal.
    IMPORTANT: you can only go this route if you actually own a suite license. If you have individual products you'll need to buy this version: http://amzn.to/hTH1lj
    Hope that helps,
